there, and a writer on his way straight up. Read this on a night when you don't
need to sleep. You won't.

To Serve and Protect with Laughter.
According to the book description
of To Serve and Protect with Laughter, the world of law
enforcement isnt just about policemen cracking mysterious cases and nabbing
villainous outlaws- its also a realm of blundering criminals, zany cops, and
wacky wild-goose chases. Yes folks, behind the serious face of law enforcement
lies one hit comedy show that, perhaps thankfully, never gets shown in the news
reports.

Abington. He has authored numerous articles on organized and white-collar crime
and been an invited panelist on national crime forums. He is the author of

Mafia.
According to
Sean Patrick Griffins publisher, the book is
researched with scores of interviews and unique access to informant logs,
witness statements, wiretaps and secret FBI files, Black Brothers, Inc. is the
most detailed account ever of an African-American organized crime mob, and a
landmark investigation into the modern urban underworld.
